STATE OF MAP 2024, Nairobi Kenya -First Time in Africa🌍

You know that classic email that starts with “Congratulations! We are pleased to offer you…”? Well, on July 1st, I got one of those from Hot Open Summit, awarding me a scholarship to attend State of the Map Global in Nairobi! Thanks Hot Open Summit! Let’s stay connected, we’ve got Manila SOTM 2025 coming up! 🫡🫡🙏🤩

First thing I did? Downloading offline maps of Nairobi with OSMAnd and Maps.me , I had to get those OSM maps in my hand, ready to go. I was feeling chill, knowing I was all set for my trip to Nairobi.

From Dar es Salaam to Nairobi, the journey kicked off with 7 of us heading there in one bus. We had a fun group Hawa next to me, Innocent chilling at the far end, Anastazia, Amour, Kombe, and Benedict. I couldn’t wait to get there, and OSMAnd was the trip MVP, keeping us informed like a road-trip soundtrack “Are we there yet?”

This year, I had the incredible privilege of attending the State of the Map 2024 conference, hosted in Nairobi, Kenya. Over the course of three unforgettable days, I participated in insightful opening talks, lightning sessions, and deep discussions on critical mapping issues, all while meeting and learning from experts from across the globe. Nairobi proved to be a truly resourceful city for this conference. A country with diverse geography, Kenya is home to national parks, game reserves, and an airport conveniently located within the city, making it a unique blend of urban life and nature. The infrastructure was excellent, and it provided a comfortable environment for participants to learn, connect, and exchange ideas. The team behind the conference’s organization deserves a huge thank you for ensuring everything went smoothly. Their efforts made this an enriching experience for all.

tl;dr I created Maxspeed freshness tool where you can see if maxspeed tag exists, and if it does - how old it is!

Why this tool

This tool emerged from a need within the local community. In Serbia, we have more street-level cameras and volunteers capturing road data than ever before! We even have people actively editing data based on those captures (which are not necessarily same people😀). Good problems to have! The big question is: Where should we capture images next?

We needed a comprehensive view of highways missing maxspeed tags so that people could go there. Additionally, we noticed some major motorways had outdated information—some maxspeed tags hadn’t been updated in over a decade. Everything gets old, even maxspeed tags.

Last weekend was nothing short of magical. I had the incredible opportunity to attend my first ever global State of the Map conference in Nairobi, Kenya. This gathering of the OSM community was a fantastic space to connect with like-minded individuals and learn about the incredible work being done with geo-data technology across various sectors…Thanks to a generous travel grant from HOT Open Summit Program, I was now sure 100% I am going to make it to Nairobi. The conference itself spanned three days, from September 6th to 8th, and it was the shortest weekend I’ve ever experienced😄. Everyone was having such a great time that no one wanted to leave!

We arrived in Nairobi on September 5th, around 21:30 PM, and were greeted by the city’s chilly weather🥶. Despite the late hour and the cold, we managed to settle in and get ready for the conference. The next day, the conference kicked off, and I was both excited and nervous as I had a session scheduled for the first day, and I’d never presented in front of such a large and diverse audience before. However, the experience was incredibly rewarding, and I learned so much from the other speakers. I particularly enjoyed Diego Gonzalez Ferreiro’s presentation on UN-Maps: Supporting Peace with Open Data, Yvonne Darko’s talk on Photo Mapping from My Village to Pharmacies and Addresses, and of course, my own presentation on Women in Tech: What Worked Best for Me.😜😉

One of the best things about the conference was the opportunity to network with other attendees. I met some amazing people from all over the globe, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to strike up conversations. I am lowkey an introvert person🫣🤭 hahah so its kinda hard for me to start socializing with people but the people i met there were the coooolest people I have never see. I was comfortable talking to everyone around me (so cutesy,so demure as Hawa would say😅😅 ) . And the food? Let’s just say, the Kenyans did not disappoint! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

It’s really a difficult task penning down experiences that even I could not express physically, but all the same I will walk you through the mapping horizons – my journey through the incredible State of the Map Nairobi.

State of the Map (SotM) Nairobi wasn’t just a conference; it was a homecoming. This year, the first-ever Afrikan-hosted, global SotM, buzzed with the energy of passionate mappers from across the globe.

“Who did you say you wanted to share the room with?”

“Have you booked your airport pickup, using Little Cab?”

“I don’t want my Letwin to get lost in Nairobi :D”

“The eagle has landed 🔥”

“Are you in Nairobi now?”

We keep it at that so curiosity kills the cat….

What an incredible three days at State of the Map Africa 2024 in Nairobi! From 6th to 8th September, I had the privilege of connecting with brilliant minds and diving deep into the latest trends shaping the Open Geospatial world. The conference offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at the incredible work of the OpenStreetMap Foundation and the passionate global community driving it forward.

The sessions were nothing short of insightful. From learning about JOSM and Open Route Service to exploring the latest web version of MapSwipe, there was so much to take in. Hearing from various OSM communities across the world was particularly inspiring, with MapKibera’s presentation standing out. Their work in promoting OSM to tackle different challenges in Kenya was truly remarkable—an inspiring example of how open mapping can drive real-world change.

We can improve user experience by providing verified, detailed and relevant information to OpenStreetMap. Let’s make OpenStreetMap a little bit better every day!

Now that I’ve taken a day off after the 14-hour bus trip from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, I can finally sit and share my thoughts on State of the Map – the first time the global conference was held in Africa!!

Before starting my academic career last year, most of my 8+ years of work experience has been in the OSM and open mapping ecosystem. Check out my diary on OSM’s 19th birthday, where I shared more about my journey in this amazing community. To quote myself from that diary (I’m becoming a real academic now, haha): “OSM is a project that needs communicators, developers, managers, strategists, etc., working together to unlock its true value within the community.”

I was thrilled to see this in action in Nairobi! I met so many people working on diverse projects ranging from environment, health, climate, disaster, urban planning, etc. Most importantly, meeting people like myself (non-tech folks) focused on community organizing, communications, project management, etc, all under the OSM umbrella. This is why gatherings like these are crucial – they remind us that OSM is not just a map.

The conference experience was mixed for me because I was part of the organizing committee this time, so I got to see both sides (organizing and attending). If I had to choose, I’d probably prefer attending. But hey, if we all choose that, there would be nothing to attend, right!?

There were so many great talks! My favourite was probably On the Ground. The duo presentation was both fun and thought-provoking, making me think about how I’ve been mapping and what I could improve. Another highlight was the lightning talks - seeing young students and recent graduates so excited to share their OSM work and dreams was inspiring. It shows how OSM is shaping the next generation—boosting their confidence, networks, and more!

This is a bit of an experiment on how to use this Diary

9 September 2024

• I just moved to Brooks, Alberta from Calgary,
• After glancing at the ResultMaps page it seems like I might be the only active contributor in the area of Brooks/Newell County so that’s partly scary and partly exciting, as there’s still a lot of work to be done.
• My first order of business will probably be figuring out why half the roads in town use an abbreviated “W” or “E” suffix as opposed to using the full word spelled out. I’ll have to work on standardizing that, although I’ll have to do some sleuthing to figure out the correct format for those.
• I’m sure there will also be a lot of work to be done in terms of speed limits, sidewalks, stop signs, and other features that could be useful for navigation software.
• Perhaps I’ll come back and do some editing in Calgary from time to time as well, particularly in the Taza Park area which continues to make steady construction progress.
• I’m a busy man but love contributing to osm and hope to make some progress over the next couple of years. Thanks for reading my first diary entry~~!

I have no idea what stop is. Precisely saying, I have no idea what Site.key.table.entry.stop is.

Oh yes, it should be a variable of this site: I found it TranslateWikiNet as an untranslated-to-Japanese variable, Osm:Site.key.table.entry.stop/ja. And it should be a certain map feature (to which site.key.table.entry.* is dedicated to). But I have not been able to figure what it is: I spent half a year already to pick it up on this website, vainly browsing here and there.

Any other language translations? Oh yes, I’ve noticed it since my first day of search. They’re Stop, Halte, 停车站 and so on. It lulls me to put it into 停留所 (ja: bus stop), but Google Image Search kept me from this temptation: it shows me some train station images too, which shouldn’t be called so in my language. Et voila, here we have Site.key.table.entry.bus stop already! So Site.key.table.entry.stop is likely for something else.

I find myself in a deadlock. Your suggestion will be appreciated. At best the pointer on this site, or on wiki, or screenshot. But for any input I’ll be grateful.

Entrada y libro de Marjorie Grice-Hutchinson sobre la historia del Cementerio Inglés de Málaga. Fuente: trabajo propio.

El Cementerio Inglés de Málaga celebrará un día de puertas abiertas el próximo 27 de septiembre con motivo del Día Mundial del Turismo. La entrada será gratuita entre las 9 y las 14 horas. Será una buena oportunidad para visitarlo y colaborar en la mejora del mapeado de tumbas y arquitectura funeraria de Málaga.

Aunque la mayoría de tumbas significativas del Cementerio Inglés ya están en el mapa, algunas necesitan ser ubicadas con precisión, añadirles las inscripciones de las lápidas o documentarlas fotográficamente subiendo una imagen de la tumba a Wikimedia Commons: la categoría contenedora es Anglican Cemetery, Málaga.
